HISTORY  OF  ORGANIZATION. 

In  April,  1884,  there  appeared  in  the  Dental  Cosmos  (page 
247)  the  following  general  notice :  "At  an  informal  confer- 
ence of  the  deans  of  the  Pennsylvania  College  of  Dental 
Surgery,  the  Philadelphia  Dental  College,  the  Dental  Depart- 
ment of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania,  and  the  Baltimore 
College  of  Dental  Surges,  it  was  decided  to  invite  a  meeting 
of  Faculties  (or  their  representatives)  of  all  the  dental 
colleges  in  the  United  States,  at  the  Sturtevant  House,  New 
York  City,  on  Monday,  August  4,  1884,  for  the  purpose  of 
adopting  a  uniform  standard  of  graduation,  etc." 

(Signed),  R.  B.  Winder.         James  Garretson. 

James  Truman.      C.  N.  Peirce. 

Pursuant  to  the  above  call,  a  number  of  representatives  of 
dental  colleges  met  as  specified,  as  follows: 

Baltimore  College  of  Dental  Surgery;  Boston  Dental 
College;  Chicago  College  of  Dental  Surgery;  Harvard 
University,  Dental  Department;  University  of  Iowa,  Dental 
Department;  New  York  College  of  Dentistry;  University  of 
Michigan,    Dental    Department;     Ohio    College    of    Dental

delphia Dental  College;  University  of  Pennsylvania,  Dental 
Department. 

[Note. — Upon  the  assembling  of  the  delegates  in  the  first  pre- 
liminary meeting,  in  August,  18S4,  they  found  a  rule  prevailing  largely 
among  colleges  of  dentistry  in  the  United  States,  by  which  a  practi- 
tioner of  five  or  more  years  might,  at  the  outset,  be  admitted  to  the 
senior  grade  and  finally  graduated  on  one  term  of  five  months.  But 
more  than  this,  they  found,  that  in  absence  of  any  competent  censor- 
ship, such  students  could  be  admitted  at  the  middle  of  a  term,  and 
thus  really  attend  but  about  three  months  before  receiving  diplomas. 
These  facts,  added  to  a  total  lack  of  uniformity  in  methods  of  teaching 
and  standards  of  requirements  on  examination,  demonstrated  the 
necessity  for  organized  effort.] 

A  temporary  organization  was  effected  with  C.  N.  Peirce, 
of  the  Pennsjdvania  College  of  Dental  Surgery,  as  Chairman; 
H.  A.  Smith,  of  the  Ohio  College  of  Dental  Surgery  as 
Secretary. 

A  Committee  on  Permanent  Organization  was  formed, 
consisting  of  James  Truman,  of  the  University  of  Pennsyl- 
vania, Dental  Department ;  R.  B.  Winder,  of  the  Baltimore 
College  of  Dental  Surgery.;  Jonathan  Taft,  of  the  University 
of  Michigan,  Dental  Department,  who  prepared  and  reported 
the  following  form  of  Constitution  :

BY-LAWS. 


{i.)  REGULATING  ADMISSION  OF  NEW  STUDENTS. 

"A  preliminary  examination  shall  be  required  of  students  seeking 
admission  to  colleges  of  this  Association,  such  examination  to  deter- 
mine the  fact  that  the  applicant  possesses  a  good  English  education." 

[1884.]

mends the  following : 

"  1.     Write  your  name  in  full.

when  such  is  purposed,  it  should  embrace  the  following  branches : 
English  Grammar  ;  Arithmetic ;  Geography ;  Modern  History  ;  Govern- 
ment Topics."  [18S5.] 

"Any  failure  of  an  applicant  to  pass  satisfactorily  a  preliminary 
examination,  may  be  reported  to  other  colleges  of  this  Association." 

[1885.] 


3  HISTORY  OF  DENTAL  FACULTIES. 

(2.)         LIMITING  TIME  FOR  RECEPTION  OF  STUDENTS. 

"No  college  of  this  Association  shall  admit  students  later  than 
twenty  days  after  the  beginning  of  a  regular  annual  term,  except  those 
colleges  that  conduct  terms  of  more  than  five  months,  and  they  shall 
have  an  extension  of  time  for  reception,  allowing  four  days  for  each 
month  over  five."  [i885-'6.] 

ADMISSION  TO  ADVANCED  GRADES  ON  CERTIFICATES. 

(3-) 

"  The  colleges  of  this  Association  may  receive  into  the  advanced 

grades  of  juniors  and  seniors  only  such  students  as  hold  certificates  of 
having  passed  satisfactorily  examinations  in  the  studies  of  the  fresh- 
men or  junior  grades,  respectively;  such  certificates  to  be  pledges  to 
any  colleges  of  the  Association  to  whom  the  holders  may  apply  that  the 
requisite  number  of  terms  have  been  spent  in  the  institutions  by  which 
the  certificates  were  issued."  [iS85-'9i.] 

INTERMEDIATE  CERTIFICATE. 

"Place ,  Date 

"This  certifies  that has  been  a  member 

of  the class,  in  the ^       

during  the  term  of  .........    . 

"He  was  examined  at  the  close  of  the  term  in  the  required  studies, 

as  stated  herein,  and  is  entitled  to  enter  the class. 

Freshman  Year.  Junior  Year. 

[List   of    Studies.]  [List   of    Studies.]" 

"Each  student  completing  a  regular  course  in  any  college  of  this 
Association  must  be  furnished  with  a  copy  of  the  above  certificate, 
without  which  he  shall  not  be  received  by  any  college  of  the  Associa- 
tion for  admission  to  the  advanced  grade,  except  by  conference  with 
and -consent  of  the  school  from  whence  he  came."  [rSS5-'9i.] 


Admission  of  Students  of  Medicine. 


(4.)  STANDING  OF  GRADUATES  OF  MEDICINE. 

"A  diploma  from  a  reputable  medical  college  may  entitle  the  holder 
to  enter  the  second  or  junior  grade  in  colleges  of  this  Association,  and 
he  may  be  excused  from  attendance  upon  the  lectures,  and  examina- 
tions upon  general  anatomy,  chemistry,  physiology,  materia  medica  and 
therapeutics."  [1890.] 

(5.)        STANDING  OF  UNDERGRADUATES  OF  MEDICINE. 

"Undergraduates  of  reputable  medical  colleges  may  be  admitted  to 
the  junior  grade  in  colleges  of  this  Association,  subject  to  other  rules 
governing  admission  to  that  grade."  [1891.] 

STANDING  OF  STUDENTS  HOLDING  CERTIFICATES  FROM 
(6.)  DENTAL  COLLEGES  IN  FOREIGN  COUNTRIES. 

"  In  cases  of  persons  holding  certificates  from  colleges  of  dentistry 
in  foreign  countries,  they  shall  be  required  to  furnish  properly  attested 
evidence  of  study,  attendance  upon  lectures,  examinations  passed  satis- 
factorily, etc.,  the  same  as  required  of  students  coming  from  our  own 
institutions."  [i885-'9i.] 

CHRONOLOGY   OF   LEGISLATION   TO   ELEVATE  THE  STAND- 
ARD OF  GRADUATION  AND  INCREASING  THE 
NUMBER  OF  SCHOLASTIC  YEARS. 

"After  the  close  of  the  sessions  of  i884-'85,  students  in  dental  col- 
leges shall  be  required  to  attend  two  full  regular  courses  of  lectures,  in 
separate  years,  before  coming  up  for  graduation."  [i884-'85.] 

The   following   resolution   adopted   in    1888,    will    be    of 

interest,  as  it  shows  the  steady  demand  for  a  change  : 
* 

"Resolved,  That  it  is  the  sense  of  this  meeting,  that  the  course  of 
instruction  in  all  colleges  belonging  to  this  Association  be  increased  to 


IO  HISTORY  OF  DENTAL  FACULTIES. 

three  years  of  not  less  than  five  months  each ;  and  that  delegates  sub- 
mit this  question  to  their  respective  faculties,  and  report  their  action 
to  this  Association  at  its  next  annual  meeting,  in  order  that  definite 
action  on  this  question  may  be  had." 

In  1889,  a  call  of  the  roll  of  colleges  represented,  was 
ordered  on  the  above  resolution  (adopted  1888)  to  ascertain 
the  views  of  colleges  as  to  increasing  the  numbers  and  length 
of  terms. 

The  reports  were  as  follows: 

Baltimore  College  of  Dental  Surgery     ....  for  2  terms  of  6  months. 

Boston  Dental  College for  3  terms  of  9  months. 

Chicago  College  of  Dental  Surgery for  3  terms  of  6  months. 

Harvard  University,  Dental  Department  .    .    .  for  2  terms  of  9  months. 

Kansas  City  Dental  College for  2  terms  of  6  months. 

Missouri  Dental  College for  3  terms  of  6  months. 

New  York  College  of  Dentistry for  2  terms  of  6  months. 

Ohio  College  of  Dental  Surgery for  2  terms  of  6  months. 

University  of  Iowa,  Dental  Department  .  .  .  for  3  terms  of  6  months. 
University  of  Michigan,  Dental  Department  .  for  3  terms  of  9  months. 
University  of  Pennsylvania,  Dental  Department,for  3  terms  of  7  months. 
Vanderbilt  University,  Dental  Department  .    .  for  2  terms  of  5  months. 

Louisville  College  of  Dentistry for  3  terms  of  5  months. 

Indiana  Dental  College for  3  terms  of  6  months. 

University  Dental  College  (Chicago) for  3  terms  of  7  months. 

Southern  Medical  College,  Dental  Department,  for  2  terms  of  5  months. 
Maryland  University,  Dental  Department  .  .  for  3  terms  of  6  months. 
Columbian  University,  Dental  Department  .    .  for  3  terms  of  6  months. 

[NOTE. — Some  colleges  were  not  represented  at  the  above  roll-call, 
and' some  had  failed  to  instruct  their  delegates.  A  summary  shows 
eighteen  colleges  voting  of  a  total  membership  of  twenty-four.  Eleven 
voted  for  three  terms ;  fifteen  favored  terms  of  six  or  more  months ; 
nine  voted  to  increase  the  length  of  their  own  terms,  and  nine  favored 
increasing  the  number  of  their  own  terms.] 

[NOTE. — The  length  of  scholastic  years  has  been  permitted  to  remain 
at  a  minimum  of  five  months,  to  date,  but  a  large  per  cent,  of  the 
Association  is  in  favor  of  increasing  the  number  of  months  to  at  least 
seven.  The  following  resolutions  offered  in  1888,  1889,  1891,  will  show 
the  persistency  of  efforts  made  to  secure  an  advance  :] 

"Resolved,  That  after  the  close  of  the  scholastic  year  of  iSS9-'90, 
attendance  upon  three  regular  courses  of  not  less  than   six  months 


HISTORY  OP  DENTAL  FACULTIES.  II 

each,  held  in  separate  years,  be  required  of  students  by  colleges  of  this 
Association  before  examination  for  graduation."  [Laid  upon  table,  by 
majority  vote,  1889.] 

"Resolved,  That  this  Association  decrees  that  the  sessions  of  the 
colleges  under  its  jurisdiction  shall,  after  close  of  the  sessions  of  1888- 
'89,  be  lengthened  to  at  least  seven  months."  [Laid  on  table  by  ma- 
jority, 1889.] 

"Resolved,  That  after  June,  1893,  the  yearly  course  of  study  shall 
not  be  less  than  seven  months,  two  of  which  may  consist  of  attendance 
upon  clinical  instruction  in  infirmaries  of  colleges."  [Laid  on  table  by 
majority,  1892.] 

"Resolved,  That  after  the  sessions  of  i892-'93,  four  years  in  the  study 
of  dentistry  be  required,  before  graduation."     [Laid  on  table,  1892.] 

NOTE — The  foregoing  resolutions  were  exhaustively  discussed  upon 
all  points,  and  were  defeated  only  after  a  hard  struggle.  Apparently, 
prudential  reasons  weighed  heaviest  with  the  opposition,  whose  schools 
were  not  yet  prepared  to  submit  to  the  advance  demanded.  These  con- 
tests have  in  nowise  affected  the  stability  of  the  Association,  nor 
stopped  progress. 

INCREASING  TO  THREE  ANNUAL  TERMS. 

[NOTE — In  1889  the  following  resolution  having  been  submitted  and 
lain  over  one  year  under  a  rule  of  the  Association,  was  taken  up  and  a 
call  of  the  roll  of  colleges  was  ordered  thereon.] 

(7)  "Attendance  upon  three  full  courses,  of  not  less  than  five  months 
each,  in  separate  years,  shall  be  required  before  examination  for  gradu- 
ation. 

The  roll-call  resulted  as  follows : 

Yeas — Boston  Dental  College  ;  Chicago  College  of  Dental  Surgery ; 
Missouri  Dental  College  ;  New  York  College  of  Dentistry ;  Pennsylvania 
College  of  Dental  Surgery ;  University  of  Iowa,  Dental  Department  •

vania, Dental  Department;  Louisville  College  of  Dentistry;  Indiana 
Dental  College;  University  Dental  College  (of  Chicago);  Southern 
Medical  College,  Dental  Department ;  University  of  Maryland,  Dental 
Department;  Columbian  University,  Dental  Department. — Total  yeas,  14. 

Nays — Baltimore  College  of  Dental  Surgery ;  Harvard  University, 
Dental  Department ;  Kansas  City  Dental  College ;  Ohio  College  of

(7  ad.)  "The  decision  of  this  Association  changing  the  course  to 
three  years  shall  go  into  effect  at  the  beginning  of  the  sessions  of 
iS90-'9i."  [Adopted  unanimously,  1889.] 

[Note — Those  colleges  voting  nay  immediately  acquiesced  in  the 
action  of  the  majority,  so  that  the  spirit  of  the  resolution  is  now  being 
cheerfully  carried  out  by  all  the  colleges  of  the  Association.] 

PUBLICATION  OF  CLASSIFICATION  OF  MATRICULANTS. 

(8)  "  Colleges  of  this  Association  shall  each  year  issue  announce- 
ments, containing  lists  of  students  classified  in  the  three  grades  of

of  graduates  of  the  preceding  session."  [1891.] 

REGULATING  HONORARY  DEGREES.

such  committee."  [1S87.] 

(14.)  "A  delegate  to  represent  a  college  in  this  Association  must  be 
a  member  of  a  teaching  faculty,  and  must  present  credentials  from  the 
college  to  which  he  belongs,  legally  authorizing  him  to  represent  such 
college  before  he  shall  be  entitled  to  vote."  [1888.]
